Champions Cup

Hampshire teams Fareham (Ladies) and Gosport Select (Men) were contesting the right to play in the Finals at Daventry on Sunday 16th August today. Please see below their fortunes.

Ladies first - Their opening game was against Isle of Wight, and they ran out 4-1 winners, they then faced Dorset in the final and again won 4-1 taking them through to the finals. Although the scoreline is flattering their matches were a lot closer than it looked on paper.
The team did Steph Smee proud, and she was not disappointed - she will now be able to enjoy her holiday in Bulgaria - lets hope she finds some time to practice whilst on holiday.
The ladies team was Sue Smee (Thompson); Wendy Reinstadtler; Maria Agozzino; Pennie Lewis and Elaine Harty.

Men - They played Avon in the first game who boasted Bob Anderson and Mark Dudbridge in their ranks, but the boys in blue did us proud and won 5-4, they then faced Somerset, who also had some very good players in their team, but ran out 5-4 winners, they then had to play Devon in the final, and unfortunately it wasn't to be as they lost 4-5 - it went right to the wire in the last match playing, the scoreline was 4-4, and 2-2 in legs, but the leg was lost, and thoughts of joining the ladies in Daventry lost.
Mens team was Steve Ballard; Danny Ballard; Rick Lowther; Steve Phipps; Steve Musson; Mark Smith; Roy Brown; Mick Cookman; Paul Gibbs - Brian Laws and Chris Witts were reserves.
